Try using VLC instead of mplayer. It is much more capable and stable (in my opinion). I have never had an issue with it, even when using mplayer, kaffeine, vlc, or others to play videos, or flash in my browsers. In fact I am running a streaming audio on my vlc player right now, and can run flash in my browser at the same time without issues.

Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

WindowMaker dock app wmmixer needed it and I added "snd_pcm_dmix_open" to the "/etc/modprobe.d/ " for the autoload.
...one good working app made other crash... it would be more easy if wmmixer could work without using of the "snd_pcm_dmix_open".

Now I know that alsa-oss may cause a lot of problems and it was hard to find someone who could help to compile wmmixer-alsa, but I found a replacement for it. The "alsamixer-dockapp" is a port of Mixer.app that is based on OSS as wmmixer.
